I heard about this documentary on NPR today where the health care systems of Japan and Taiwan were discussed.

"Sick Around the World" - examines health care systems of countries including England, Japan, Germany, Taiwan and Switzerland for ideas on how to improve care in the US.

It's on "Frontline" tonight on PBS or you can watch online here -
